Police investigator said Awa was not able to call their office immediately after the incident instead she called first their branch in Oroquieta because she was still in trauma and panic.

“Wa man siya ka tawag namu kay gikuyawan paman siya,” the investigator said.

“Ayha na gani nakahibalo ang tapad nilang mga tindahan nga gitulis ang LBC pag-abot na namu,” he added.

“Kung nakatawag pa siya dayon posibli nga among madakpan kay gamay gud nga motor ilang gisakyan unya tulo sila hinay gyod ang dagan,” a police officer quipped.
